Murphy said he didn't have to search for the content he allegedly posted. He said people sent him information and links that he then copied and pasted onto the page.

In earlier questioning with the police, Murphy admitted to setting up
the page out of "spite and revenge" after having been featured on a
similar page in the past, according to court records.

Easton police launched an investigation after receiving complaints about the page. Police said they served search warrants to Facebook, Yahoo and Optimum Online and tracked the Internet Protocol address of the page's creator to
Murphy's mother's home in Newark, according to an arrest warrant.

"It's
a lesson learned; that's something he knows he won't be doing again,
ever," his mother, Adrienne
Murphy, said. "If he has a comment about someone, he'll keep it to
himself."

She said they lived in Easton until moving to
Newark recently. She declined to comment further about the incident.

Peter Murphy's preliminary hearing is set for 11 a.m. June 7. Stocklas set bail on the harassment charges at $5,000.
